I wish it ...JCSimpson, thanks for your compliment! I wish it were so, but I'm afraid I often flounder along like every other player at the start of any new Harvest Moon game. There are fundamental rules to Harvest Moon and having played extensively can help with some aspects of the game, but advanced gameplay always requires testing and replaying and scrutinising every action again and again. That is why I like to be able to revise my guides. Sometimes a chain of events leads to a glitch that only can be proven after the game has been played by many different players for a year. It's the same with respect to the requirements to trigger events sometimes. What I may have thought to be a requirement may have been nothing more than coincidence. I need to play three of four different games to see if it really WAS a requirement or not.<BR/><BR/>Some guide writers don't include their email address in their guides but it's only when I hear the problems that other players are having that I am able to improve my own guides by making them more detailed or explicit.Freyashawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287788030356551229.post-31289465390876538142008-09-14T12:56:00.000-04:002008-09-14T12:56:00.000-04:00Well, every Harvest Moon game is different where R...Well, every Harvest Moon game is different where Recipes are concerned. Remember 'A Wonderful Life' where you had to make the same dish a few times before it would be successful? That was interesting! In FoMT/MFoMT and HM DS/Cute DS, you could simply experiment if you didn't have my Cookbook Guide and add new Recipes that way... In FoMT/MFoMT, you could obtain Recipes from other characters as well. I loved that. HM Boy & Girl included that option as well... And of course, there were the many Cooking Programmes on the telly in various HM games. <BR/><BR/>In ToT, you can experiment or you can go to the kitchens of the most successful cooks on the Island and read their daily Recipes posted on their walls. You can sneak into their houses even when they aren't home and snag a new Recipe that way!<BR/><BR/>Island of Happiness though is the strictest in not allowing ANY experimentation. There is only one way to obtain each Recipe. Either you take a specified ingredient to a specified cook or you obtain it from the Harvest Goddess on the lowest floor of the Mine...<BR/><BR/>If you don't obtain the Recipe, you can't make the Dish. Full stop. Knowing that there is Tomato Juice and knowing that all you need to do is use a Tomato won't give you anything but a Failed Dish if you haven't obtained the Recipe from the Cafe.Freyashawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287788030356551229.post-7525415237517658052008-09-13T22:16:00.000-04:002008-09-13T22:16:00.000-04:00So this time's cookbook is harder to complete?

Heh, no wonder I keep coming back here to look at guides ... <BR/><BR/>Anyway, how many recipes are in this title? I know these days there's usually quite a few ... I bet ToT also has a lot ...
